COVER: Poster for Renewing the Sacred Balance, an initiative of Faith & the Common Good, in support of David Suzuki's Nature Challenge. Renewing the sacred balance is about rekindling our relationship with one another and with the entire community of creatures who share the biosphere of Earth. It's about living life with sacred awareness and an ethic of respect, balance and harmony.
